IMO...
I understand there's a lack of vendors back East but what you seem to be saying is, there's a lack of manufacturers there.
What regions of the country really need are quality INSTALLERS of the manufacturers' products so vehicle owners can get the high quality products installed by experienced, quality shops.
Manufacturers typically make product that distributors sell regionally across the US and around the world. Manufacturers don't consider moving their operations except to avoid laws and taxes (see gun industry for examples) but they do have reps and distributors worldwide.
If there aren't enough shops in your area selling the products Raptor owners want that's the problem of the manufacturers' marketing programs. I suggest you call / email them but this good thread should help get your message to them.
I agree, I would love to have one shop in the Boston area that does QUALITY work that I could bring my truck to to get all parts installed that are on my wish list.....
